Jaisalmer - Cultural Holidays - Royal Wedding
Enjoy a royal wedding tour in Jaisalmer with Rajasthan Holiday and experience the sheer pleasure of being able to touch and feel the very fabric of cultural Rajasthan.
Jaisalmer royal weddings are ideal occasions for observing social customs and traditional ways. A Jaisalmer royal wedding is usually an elaborate affair with several functions that precede the main wedding followed by a host of ceremonies and customs that are performed after the main event.
The engagement ceremony takes place a few days before the wedding and is attended by the male members of both the families.
The pithi ceremony is an important event that characterizes all Rajasthan royal weddings. Ladies of the household apply turmeric paste to the bride and the groom, sing folk songs, prayers are offered to Lord Ganesha and the other deities of the clan.
On the main wedding day folk dancers perform in perfect rhythm to vibrating drumbeats and strains of shenai. Relatives and guests also join in the dancing and singing at times. The groom rides a lavishly caparisoned camel or a horse and reaches the brides' home accompanied by his relatives and friends. The groom and his family are given a grand welcome on arrival. They are sprinkled with rose water and rose petals, offered sweets and snacks and inundated with gifts.
So come and experience a royal Jaisalmer wedding and discover a world of glitz, glamour and pride. Rajasthan Holiday offers you several tour packages that make it possible for you to attend one of these lavish royal weddings in Jaisalmer.
